USDC No. CR-H-96-133-1

October 5, 1998

Before KING, BARKSDALE and STEWART, Circuit Judges:

PER CURIAM:*

Donald Bell pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine base and

with possession with intent to distribute cocaine base. Bell argues that the district court improperly

held him accountable for drugs which were not related to his offense. We review for clear error the

sentencing court’s calculation of the quantity of drugsinvolved. United States v. Mergerson, 4 F.3d

337, 345 (5th Cir. 1993). 

A drug courier for Bell was arrested with 874 grams of cocaine base in his possession. Bell’s

argument that the entire 847 grams was not foreseeable to him is disingenuous given the admission

that he was aware of the entire amount of cocaine base being carried by Henderson. Bell also argues

that he was unaware of 484 grams of cocaine base found in a purse during a search of one of his

confederate’s residence. Bell has produced nothing but his self-serving denial that he did not know
about the cocaine base found in the purse. The district court did not clearly err by including these

amounts of cocaine base in the amount involved in Bell’s drug conspiracy. The other amounts of

narcotics challenged by Bell were not significant to his sentence and will not be addressed.

Section2D1.1(b)(1) ofthe Sentencing Guidelines directssentencing courtsto increase bytwo

levelsthe base offense level of a defendant convicted of certain drug-related offensesif "a dangerous

weapon (including a firearm) was possessed." The district court’s decision to apply this section is

a factual determination which we also review only for clear error. United States v. Garza, 118 F.3d

278, 285 (5thCir. 1997), cert. denied, 118 S. Ct. 699 (1998). The presentence report (PSR) showed

that numerous weapons were found in the residence in which Bell was arrested while in the act of

"cooking" cocaine base. It is not clearly improbable that these five weapons were connected with the

offense. The district court did not clearly err in this matter.

Bell argues that the district court violated Fed. R. Crim. P. 32 by not making specific finding

on his objections to the PSR. This argument goes to Rule 32(c)(1), which requires the sentencing

court to make findings regarding controverted facts in the PSR, or to state that those facts will not

be taken into account at sentencing. The district court satisfied the mandate of Rule 32 when it

overruled the objections and adopted the PSR because the findingsin the PSR were “so clear” as not

to leave this court to “second guess” the basis for the district court’s decision. United States v.

Carreon, 11 F.3d 1225, 1230-31 (5th Cir. 1994).

AFFIRMED.
